General Information
Being gendervoid is when one has an absence or void where a gender would be. Someone who is gendervoid lacks the experience of having a gender. The experience of being gendervoid is often accompanied by a feeling of detatchment or emptiness from the concept of gender. Being gendervoid is less of a rejection of gender, and more like an inability to connect with or experience it. The feeling of this void can vary from person to person.
Gendervoid is similar to agender, however the experience of being agender is often accompanied by gender neutrality. There is no gender neutrality when it comes to being gendervoid, only a genderless experience. Gendervoid is sometimes considered to be a xenogender, due to the connection to the void.
For those who may be struggling to conceptualize this, allow me to provide a metaphor. Gender is like soup. Someone who has a gender would therefore have a bowl full of soup. The contents of the soup make up that person's gender. Someone who is genderless has a bowl without any soup.
